: The tragic landslide tragedy at Father’s Organic Farm in Jalan Genting, Batang Kali, Hulu Selangor on Dec 16 last year has left a profound scar, impact and lasting lesson for survivor Quek Sze Cheong, 37.
“Then, I saw a human leg sticking out the soil and without delay, I and a friend who survived tried to pull the mother and baby out even though their legs were entangled,” he said when met by Bernama at his home in Taman Padang Balang, Batu Berendam here today. Quek said that although he was still traumatised by the incident, it will not stop the father of two daughters aged four and six from going back to life on the camping trail with his family and friends.
“Maybe after six months, our family will resume camping activities but we will certainly be more intuitive and avoid camping at risky sites such as hill slopes and beaches, especially during the North East Monsoon,” he said.
